Steps:
- Heat a big stockpot full of water, when it boils plunge the lamb in, restore heat and simmer 15 minutes. Drain and pat dry.
- In a deep pan or skillet, melt butter and brown lamb all over. Flambe with the brandy or gin and when the flame dies add the rest of the ingredients and season to taste.
- Place a lid or cover on the dish and bake at 120C degrees for seven hours, turning twice.
- Once cooked, use an eggflip as well as a fork or similar to lift out the lamb to a serving dish. The meat will be falling apart -- mmmm.
- Puree the remaining sauce, return to the dish and reduce to a sauce consistency ( the garlic will help thicken it ).
- Check the seasoning and serve in a small jug. This lamb needs lots of mash or bread or both to mop up the juices, as well as plenty of good red wine on the table.

AMBASSADE D'AUVERGNE'S SEVEN-HOUR LEG OF LAMB
Amazingly tender, flavorful and delicious. I first ran across this recipe in Paula Well's BISTRO cookbook. Don't let the seven-hours put you off. This is amazingly easy.

Steps:
- Layer onions, carrots, garlic, bay leaves and thyme on bottom of nonreactive covered roaster large enough to hold lamb.
- Place lamb on top of onion and carrot mixture. Roast, uncovered, at 425 degrees for 30 minutes. Remove roaster from oven. Generously season lamb to taste with salt and.
- pepper. Return to oven and roast another 30 minutes.
- Remove roaster from oven, leaving oven on. Place roaster on top of stove, slowly pour wine over lamb, cover, and bring liquid to a boil.
- Return roaster, covered, to oven. Roast 4 to 5 additional hours until lamb is fork tender, but not falling off bone. (Timing will vary according to size and age of lamb and type of roasting pan used,).
- Check on lamb, reducing oven temps if lamb begins to burn or liquid begins to evaporate too much. When lamb is fork tender, bury potatoes and tomatoes in liquid. Cover and roast until potatoes are cooked through, about 1 hour more. Lamb should now be very tender, still juicy and falling off bones.
AUVERGNESE SEVEN-HOUR LEG OF LAMB
This dish, brought to The Times by Patricia Wells in 1988, came from a cheesemaker near Salers, France. The lamb is cooked long and slow alongside vegetables for several hours. While the dish is called seven-hour lamb, the size of the leg of lamb will dictate the cooking time. Peek in on it frequently, and adjust the liquid as needed.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
- Pierce the skin of the lamb and insert the cloves of garlic, distributing evenly throughout. Season with salt and pepper.
- Layer the onions, carrots, bay leaves and thyme on the bottom of a large Dutch oven or covered roaster large enough to hold the lamb. Place the lamb on top and roast in the oven, uncovered, for one hour.
- Remove the pan from the oven and slowly add the wine. Cover, place over high heat on top of the stove and bring the liquid to a boil. Return the pan, covered, to the oven, reduce the heat to 350 degrees and roast the lamb, turning from time to time, until it is very tender and actually falling off the bone. This should generally take two to three hours more.
- One hour before serving, bury the potatoes and tomatoes in the liquid, cover and roast until cooked through. The lamb should be very moist. As the French say, you should be able to eat it with a spoon. Much of the liquid will have cooked away, but what remains will be sweet and flavorful.
- Carefully remove the lamb from the pan, cut the meat into thin slices and serve, surrounded with vegetables and the remaining cooking liquid.
GIGOT DE SEPT HEURES (FRENCH SEVEN HOUR ROAST LAMB)
I love Anthony Bourdains attitude towards life and food so was over the moon when my husband bought me his "Les Halles Cookbook". This recipe is FANTASTIC! I never cook roast lamb in any other way since finding this. I do follow his ingredients but just cook it in a normal roasting pan with a well fitting lid, (although sometimes I only cook it for 5 or 6 hours, its still meltingly tender by then) then make a gravy from the strained cooking juices. If I'm using half a lamb a generally halve all the ingredients except the wine! Wonderful served with French creamed cabbage, glazed carrots and dauphinois potatoes.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 300°F
- Make many small incisions in lamb, place slivers of garlic in each incision.
- Rub lamb well with olive oil, season with salt & pepper. (At this point I would brown the lamb on all sides-but that's not necessary.)
- Place it in Dutch oven and add onions, carrots, bouquet garni, garlic, wine. Put lid on Dutch oven.
- Combine flour and water, make a 'caulk' and use it to seal the lid to the dutch oven.
- Place it in the 300 degree oven and cook for 7 hours. Yes, 7 hours. (no peeking--leave it alone.).
- Remove the Dutch oven and break the seal. You don't have to eat the cooked flour paste.
